Differentiation Corner

Hi, I'm Mandie, the creator behind Differentiation Corner! I'm passionate about making teaching and learning as fun, engaging, and meaningful as possible. Whether it’s through hands-on activities, thoughtful differentiation, or just the perfect classroom decor. I love helping teachers build warm, welcoming spaces that support learning and reflect their unique style. Creating a beautiful, functional classroom that brings out the best in every student? That’s my jam! My goal is to support educators with resources that make teaching easier, classrooms brighter, and students more successful.

I've been on an incredible teaching journey for the past 19 years, and every step has shaped who I am as an educator. I began as a Title I Reading Intervention teacher, supporting kindergarten and first grade students as they built their earliest literacy skills. From there, I spent several wonderful years teaching first grade, where I truly fell in love with early childhood education. Eventually, I found my way into special education (a path that has brought me so much joy) working with incredible students in grades 2 through 7. Throughout my career, I’ve continued to grow and learn. I’m trained in Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, and the Comprehensive Intervention Model, and I hold a Master’s Degree in Collaborative Teaching Practices. I’m passionate about helping all learners succeed, and I design resources that are both research-based and classroom-tested, with real students in mind.
